Data Centre Monitoring Challenges

Visibility Challenges

• Tools overloaded but underutilised– Too many tools but too few SPANs and TAPs

– How to monitor 10G networks (not to mention 40/100)?

– How to monitor more of the network?

– Improve ROI and TCO on expensive tool sets

• Stay ahead of troubleshooting– Get the right traffic to the right tools at the right time!

– Use proactive tools

• Reduce cost and improve ROI

3 Stage Filtering

Visibility – Anue can help

• Send all tools all and only the data they need– Accurately share SPANs and TAPs

– Avoid expensive, cascaded TAP deployment

– Monitor 10G networks with existing 1G tools

– Monitor more of the network with unlimited aggregation

– Improve ROI and TCO on expensive tool sets

• Stay ahead of troubleshooting– Proactively send traffic to the right tools based on

changes in the network

– Dynamically put underutilized tools to work

• Reduce cost and improve ROI

3 Stage Filtering

Process Challenges

• How do you add, change and manage tools today?

• Seamlessly integrate into existing processes– Process - compliance, security, SLA, reporting …

– Systems – network mgmt, authentication, etc…

– Saves time, money and headaches

• Keep up with growing change and complexity– Networks, applications, virtualization

– Increasing compliance & security requirements

– Error prone manual processes that do not scale

• How to reduce risk in the data centre

Process – Anue can help

• Standard, secure interface to connect tools

• Remote, secure management of data and tools• No data center access

• Change control windows

• Access and user control with TACACS+

• Audit trail with SYSLOG

• Capacity management for tools

• Extensive statistics on data, filters and tools (SNMP)

• Automation

• Reduce risk in the data centre through human error

Security

Networking

Ops

• Configure and manage tools and data access– Expert run over by a bus?

– Need to be a jack of all trades

– Another CLI to learn?

– Skill levels - new hire, net ops, expert, generalist

• Team productivity– Handoff errors and delays between shifts and locations

– How to share expertise

• Securely share access across multiple teams– Eliminate resource conflicts

– Secures access to sensitive data and tools

Productivity – Anue can help

Networking

Ops

• Simplify network and tool configuration

– No more complex SPAN, RSPAN or VACL configuration

– Tools not overloaded with unnecessary data

– Tools don’t need to pre-filter data

• Intuitive GUI– Anyone can learn in minutes - No CLI ever required

– All skill levels - new hire, net ops, expert, generalist

• Increase team productivity

– Common multi-user access GUI across teams and tools

– Share expertise with Filter Libraries

• Securely share access across multiple teams

– Secures access to sensitive data and tools with role based access control
